2nd floor addition and garage

We live in a semi bungalow and want to demo roof in order to build a full second floor (850 square feet) which would include 2 bedrooms, office, bath and laundry. We are also wanting to build a flat top roof in order to increase our useable space. There is also a two car garage that needs to be demolished and rebuilt, regrading of backyard and new fence.

Afternoon

I am looking at doing some work on my house. We are unsure of the best way to go about doing what we want done. We forsure have 2 rooms we want redone and then siding and windows. A possible addition onto the front of the house. With a sunk in living room, and bedroom. My current house is 998 square feet. And I just want a main level added on, hopefully with out having to rebuild the roof of the house.

Do you deal with all permits? and will you work if I supply product ( I work for a lumber yard and can get lumber, flooring and siding)

Was also curious what an addition starts at. I know its not cut and dry on what this type of reno costs but was hoping on a rough estimate.

If you could get back to me that would be great!

Thanks

Have a good day

A small extension on to the side of the house

We have been renovating a house and now want to build a small extension onto the side of the house. The room will be approximately 10x12 ft. It is on the main floor (ground level). We need it done fairly soon because we are almost ready for our eletrical inspection. The delay in posting this was because we thought we would do the extension ourselves (just like we have already done with the rest of the house) but now we realize that we need someone that specializes in that type of work.

We will also be hiring for complete drywall, tapeing etc. The house is almost at that point.

Thank you (in advance) for responding to my email promptly.

Add on separating from main house

Add on laundry room approximately 10 x 5 feet, is separating from the main house. It appears that the add on is sinking and pulling away from the house. There are major cracks in the corners of the laundry room starting at the ceiling to about half way down the wall. Can only be seen from the inside. The house has a suited basement but there is no basement under the add on portion. We believe we need to have that room lifted and properly supported to make it structurally sound.

Adding a mudroom at back door

We are interested in adding a mudroom at our back door where we have our deck. Entrance to back door has a landing and that is as large as we want it (5x5, more or less). We have a bathroom window where the mudroom would be as well that may or may not need to be taken out depending on design of the mudroom.

Adding a second story to a bungalow

I am wondering how much it would cost to add a second story to our bungalow. Our home is currently 1000 sq/ft and a simple rectangle in shape. I plan on doing the finishing work myself and would need a builder to draft plans, remove existing roof, update electrical and plumbing as well as building the second story itself. I would do the drywalling, the painting, the floors, the bathroom once all was plumbed in. My husband wants a studio and we need another bedroom so we are envisioning the upstairs as a master suite on one side and a large studio/office space on the other. We are considering a second story as we love our neighbourhood and can't find another home that suits our needs. Estimated cost of such a project???

Attached Garage Conversion to Secondary Suite

We are looking for someone to manage the conversion of our attached, oversized two-car garage into a secondary suite that will qualify for the Cornerstones Secondary Suites Grant. They must be able to arrange or provide all necessary aspects of the project from architectural design and investigating which parts of the existing structure can be used, to plumbing, electrical, permits etc. Fully itemised estimates are required to qualify for this grant program and thus will be expected early in the process. Financing has already been secured and we would like work to begin as soon as possible.

Preference will be given to those who have familiarised themselves with the Cornerstone Program.

Budget is ~ 30-60K; timely, professional completion of this project will lead to further contracts.

Old house built in 1954 needs pipe work for bathroom. Sink, shower, and toilet + washer and emergency drain.

Basement Bathroom Install

I have a 1950 built house that needs a bathroom put in the basement. It has a cast Iron main stack (doesn't leak) which I assume should be switched to the PVC. The bathrrom will have a sink, shower stall and toilet. I would also like my basement framed as it's pretty raw as it stands.

This is only the start of my projects as I have an upstairs bathroom that needs to be re done as well as a kitchen but I need to get this project done first.
